Hailing from Nashville, Tom Tippin was perhaps always destined for a life in music. Brought up by musical parents, his father is the platinum-selling artist Aaron Tippin with Tom’s journey in the industry starting almost at birth, performing alongside his dad to thousands of people. By the age of sixteen, he was already immersing himself in the creative epicentre of Nashville, collaborating with various writers on the iconic Music Row.
Though country music initially informed his direction and ignited his creative spark, his mother introduced him to a diverse range of artists and styles, adding pop and rock elements to his creative vision. In 2019 he unveiled his original sound with his debut EP Teenage Heart which he followed up with a string of well-received singles in the build up to his 2022 sophomore EP Wasted Melodies.
After taking a brief hiatus from releasing music, he’s now returned to usher in the next chapter of his exciting musical journey, bringing us his brand new single titled “Nepo Baby.” Reflecting on his unique upbringing with his father as a revered musician, Tom distils his conflicting emotions about having supportive parents who helped him get his career off the ground and the perceptions other people might have of his situation.
Though having well known parents in the music business has surely helped, with his new single Tom Tippin once again proves that’s he can back up the hype with his own extraordinary talent. Laying down an uptempo slice of storming alternative rock cut with punchy vocal flows and slick ebb and flow, “Nepo Baby” delivers a raucous ride from start to finish.
Kicked off with the lively twang of clean guitar tones, the song erupts with a crunchy guitar riff riding pounding drums before settling into a bouncy verse where Tom spins stuttered vocal leads above. Sliding into a dreamy interlude where elegant stretched melodies float over soft instrumentation, the song bursts back into an energising rock sound.
Brimming with infectious rhythm and instantly memorable hooks, “Nepo Baby” is an unforgettable music experience served up in an explosive song. It’s a spectacular showcase of the artist’s creativity, offering a dose of potent alternative rock that sees Tom Tippin make a triumphant return to sharing his thrilling sound.
